Taking faster photos

I have noticed a few users complaining about the time delay for taking a photo on the Samsung D900i (takes about 3 seconds before it takes the photo)- can this be changed by any setting or do I just have to live with blurry photos?

It's not possible to take a photo in a second, because the camera needs to get in focus the object you're taking picture of.

You have a square on your display that indicates where the focus will be.With whatever function you use, you need to press the shutter button halfway and wait for the camera to focus on the object. When it's focused you will hear the click and the square will turn green.Now your pictures shouldn't be blurry.

Hi Susan, and welcome to FixYa-
I have had the exact problem that you are describing, albeit a different make and model of camera. Here's how I solved my issue:
I grabbed the nearest heavy object and smashed the camera....
No, but seriously, try this:
The S700 has the standard "Scene Selector" knob on the top. Make sure that this is NOT pointed toward (set to) the "Self Timer" option. The icon for this, on the camera's body, looks similar to the "Auto" setting icon.
The S700 has 3 timer modes: a 10 second delay, 2 second delay and a "Double" mode wherein the camera waits 10 seconds, takes one picture then, after an additional 2 second delay, will take a second picture. The delay must be selected by the user and will appear in your LCD viewing screen. Prior to taking a test picture, look in the display screen to see if any numbers appear. If you see any, you know that the camera is in the Self Timer mode. Simply rotate the button on top of the camera to the "Auto" icon and you'll be all set.
Good luck, and let us know how you go!

I've got a A520 also, and I think theres a few reasons why it can take a while between shots.

1) When using the flash, flash needs several seconds to recharge, this is unavoidable.
2) Some SD cards are slower than others. Make sure you buy a fast one. Note too that a 2Gb or 4Gb card will slow down your camera between shots, compared to a smaller memory card, such as 1Gb, or 512mb.
3) If using a slow shutter speed, such as 10 or 15 seconds, I've found it takes longer to take the next photo. This is unavoidable.

4) You could lower the resolution of the photos you're taking, this will enable you to take photos faster, and may still be good enough for applications such as Facebook, ect.

5) Another trick is to use the multiple shots option. For some reason you can take more photos more quickly than if you manually take each photo. Flash, and slow shutter speeds may still slow down the camera, if used.

THE PAUSE TIME YOU ARE TELLING IS THE TIME TAKEN BY CAMERA TO READY AGAIN. YOU CAN NOTICE THAT WHEN YOU SHOOT PHOTO WITHOUT FLAST/OUTDOOR IN DAY TIME THAN IT DO NOT TAKES TIME PAUSE. WHEN CAMERA USES FLASH IT WILL TAKE TIME TO BE READY FOR NEXT SHOOT. IT IS NORMAL

Initially, this would be a temperature imbalance on the CCD lens. Often white spot(s) appear at night or when the temperature is cold. Workaround is to open the lens but delay taking a picture after a few seconds. The idea is allow the lens to match the ambient temperature.
